Interpower Group of Companies

What Interpower Group of Companies does

Interpower Group of Companies, doing business as Interpower Corporation, is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of AC power system components founded in 1975 in Oskaloosa, Iowa by Bob Wersen, who remains President. The company designs and produces power cords and cord sets, IEC 60320 appliance couplers (connectors, inlets, plug connectors, and outlets across C5/C6, C7/C8, C13/C14, C15/C16, C19/C20 configurations), power entry modules, accessory power strips and 19-inch rack PDUs, hospital-grade medical components, plugs/sockets/connectors, cable, fuses, circuit breakers, terminal blocks, and strain reliefs. All products are manufactured in Iowa and 100% tested, with 1-week U.S. manufacturing lead times and same-day shipping on in-stock items.

The portfolio is centered on the IEC 60320 standard, which lets OEM customers design one base product and reconfigure only the country-specific cord set for global markets, supported by an accessory power distribution system that further reduces SKU complexity. Interpower targets four primary verticals: medical equipment manufacturers (hospital-grade products meeting UL 60601-1 with low-leakage filters in the 5µA range at 250VAC), IT equipment and data-center infrastructure OEMs, commercial/industrial equipment makers, and global export equipment designers requiring multi-country compliance. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification across its U.S. and U.K. sites and maintains CE marking and UKCA conformity for applicable products.

Go-to-market is sales-led with a direct digital channel: dedicated sales representatives, inside customer service, and a self-serve e-commerce website operate in parallel. Pricing is quote-based with no minimum order or dollar requirements, and the company offers blanket/scheduled orders that lock pricing for up to one year with flexible delivery. The company operates a U.S. headquarters and primary manufacturing facility in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and a U.K. regional headquarters in Milton Keynes serving the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, with global shipping beyond these geographies. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of components with value-added services such as custom labeling and packaging.
